BOULDER — Tuesday morning, nearly 200 people filled the Petry & Harrington Family Auditorium in the University of Colorado Champions Center to hear former cyclist Lance Armstrong speak.
Technically, Armstrong was in Boulder to talk to Roger Pielke’s Introduction to Sports Governance class. But along with more than 80 students from Pielke’s class, approximately 100 members of the CU faculty, media and the community were on hand to hear Armstrong talk candidly about his past — in particular, the doping scandal that led to him being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and banned for life from the sport.
